Gentoo is suffering from the 'secret conversations' urban myth. |

The lack of visibility is the lack of organization and the pretty much |
| 18 |
total freedom developers had, there was no real need to communicate on |
| 19 |
certain points because it worked as it was. While this had its merits |
| 20 |
and made Gentoo in what it is today i see more and more that this isn't |
| 21 |
sufficient anymore (i come from a time when it was possible). This is |
| 22 |
what the proposed top-level structure intends to tackle. |

There is not much to say. I can tell you there's nothing special in area |
| 25 |
51, but if you want to believe it won't change your mind. |

PS. bad example, of course they're hiding UFOs and aliens and whatnot in |
| 30 |
area 51. |

PS III. This mail goes as far as Gentoo Linux development, business |
| 33 |
ventures etc. have a certain secrecy over them which i don't find |
| 34 |
particular appropriate either. But to a certain degree that is not |
| 35 |
directly related to the distro as a whole. |
